RUIZ TWEET

For the social representative, this decision means “a change with respect to what was done in the last 16 years and that harms the minimum passivities” since with this measure “will be saved in 2022” but “harming 146,098 retirees and pensioners”.

Along these lines, he explained that both he and Ariel Ferrari – alternate director representing the liabilities – did not support the change of criteria.

According to data shared by Ruíz, of the 146,098 retirees those who reach this measure, the 71.27% are from the interior and 28.73% live in Montevideo: 56,545 men and 89,553 women.

In addition, he pointed out that almost half of those affected (73,597) are former industry and commerce contributors; 42,714 are from the rural sector Y 25,238 from the domestic sector, while the rest They are from the public sector.

He also added that “suffer this discount80,293 recipients of old-age benefits, 35,003 beneficiaries of benefits for old age Y 18,773 due to disability. And that in addition “punish” to 96,358 former dependent workers Y 37,711 employers.

Ferrari, for its part, explained in a statement that “who until December charged $15,097, will now charge $15,768” which implies “4.44% more and not the 6.16% overall increase”.

With inflation at 7.96%, the group of 145,000 retirees and poorest pensioners, who earn the minimum, is the one affected”, he added.

Former Frente Amplio deputy Alfredo Asti and director of the National Development Corporation (CND) shared Ferrari’s statement on his Twitter account and expressed: “After 16 years where they were not done, this year 2022, minor passivities (people + vulnerable ) that had a provisional increase in July 2021, the same is deducted from the general adjustment of 6.16%. With this, they will save and reduce the fiscal deficit by US$ 10 million. Was it good to change?

The Vice President of the BPS, Daniel Graffigna, said to The Observer that what Ruiz and Ferrari denounce is “fake” and anticipated that The body will issue a statement in the next few hours to clarify the situation but chose not to elaborate.
